When Your Round Kick Misses Don't Waste the Position

What happens when your round kick misses and your momentum carries you forward? Don’t automatically fight your way back to the position you expected. Use the position the fight actually gave you. In this ClearSky lesson, Coach John shows how a missed round kick can naturally create an opportunity for a side kick when the opponent moves away and your momentum carries the kicking leg forward. The key is context. Sometimes you can recoil the kick normally. Sometimes you rotate far enough for a completely different option. And sometimes the momentum puts you in exactly the right position to plant and fire a side kick. The drill at the end adds the important part: your partner has to actually make you miss. If the timing or position changes, the side kick may not be there — and that’s the point. Don’t force the technique. Recognize the position and solve the problem that is actually in front of you.
